shit…i generally don’t use obscene amounts of profanity here, but we’re ultimately fucked as a nation if this GOP ticket elbows its way to inauguration day. never again do i want to hear a single smear ad about obama’s inexperience from the mccain camp…at least he made it to the senate. and since when is there a wasilla, ak? if you’re not a mainland state representative, i find it hard to believe one could effectively co-govern the entire nation, especially with such limited diplomatic experience beyond county fairs and bake sales. but i digress…

hurricane gustav is on its way, and i’m beginning to wonder if it’s going to be anywhere near as intense as the media is playing it up to be. not to downplay the tragedy of hurricane katrina, but she was a cat. 5; gus was downgraded to cat. 3 today. i’m sure new orleans is still in a fragile state since ‘05, but i have a feeling the hasty, selective evacuations may have been a bit inflated…we’ll see tomorrow. i hope i’m right in my prediction that gus will fizzle more, but that remains to be seen. by no means do i want to see another katrina.

anyone hear from saakashvili and the new accusations by the neo- [karl] marx brothers? alright, so putin isn’t directly mentioned in that article, but it’s become insanely obvious that medvedev is just a puppet with a napoleon complex packing enough room for two. vicious aren’t i? i can’t believe this isn’t a bigger issue in the “news”…i think russia quickly cutting diplomatic ties with the US specifically is a bit troublesome. then again, maybe i’m just paranoid.

and how’s my buddy misha? kind of hard to find out since georgian info is so hard to come by, even in the US. i’m still waiting for the kremlin to try to bring him to brussels and charge him for war crimes…right, that’ll be taken seriously by the international community. then again, with the exceptions of ukraine, germany, and poland, i see little concern for this whole issue. but i’m beating a dead horse…

enough for tonite. we’ll see what happens with gustav after tomorrow. i, unlike the other lucky mofos in the US, have to work at 4am tomorrow…but i’ll finish on a happy note:

real time’s back..!
